Headlines matter. Were they migrants, people who happened to be at a migrant center, pedestrians, or manslaughter victims?

A new study from researchers at Northeastern University, in collaboration with scientists from MIT and the University of Glasgow, investigated what happened when a group of domesticated birds were taught to call one another on tablets and smartphones.
